Emerging Artist, EKOH, Mixes Love for Hip-Hop and Alternative with New Singles & Custom VANS Collaboration

Poised for big things in 2024, Las Vegas’ EKOH is coming in hot with a fresh pair of new hook-heavy singles and, to none of his fans’ surprise, a collaboration with skateboard legends, Vans. Why’s this huge collab no shock to his loyal base that continues to grow? Look no further than EKOH’s 6-year old banger, “Freeverse 3”. Since this crowd-favorite release, EKOH has had his hands full…

Check out the just released, “Mayday”, a track that pulls you in with emotive musicality then keeps you hooked (pun intended) with his crafty and quick lyricism.

“‘Mayday’ is a song about having difficulty opening up to the ones closest to you,” the artist explains. “It’s about my tendency to avoid any kind of vulnerability until my entire world is crashing down around me and I’m finally willing to speak up. By that time, it feels more like an emergency call than anything else, so ‘MAYDAY!'”

EKOH’s latest offerings have been welcomed with open arms by the alternative community, with November’s “Hole In Your Head” consistent rotations on SXM Octane and “Hurt Myself” steadily garnering more than 25,000 streams daily

As a 25 year old MC, EKOH’s hip-alt sound can be directly attributed to his influences, of which he’s toured with many, including but not limited to: Tech N9ne, Wu-Tang Clan, From Ashes to New, Papa Roach, with stints on Vans Warped Tour and more that coincide with his penchant for delivering high-energy performances

EKOH is more than his love for Vans, finding lyrics spanning the universes of comic books, movies and more to create a sound he’s dubbed “Heart Hop”, described the artist as “a more genuine, heartfelt take on a lot of the more mainstream-sounding music. I keep everything very close to heart and very truthful to my own life, my experiences, things like that.”

On February 9th, EKOH performed a free show sponsored by Vans at Denver’s Roxy Theatre and announced a well-deserved collaboration between the artist and the skate shoe of which he’s signed thousands of pairs.
